Box: Erosion
by Luigi Sforza
Una considerevole distanza separa la musica dei Boxmusic/Cargocollective--gruppo di giovani musicisti elvetici--da ogni forma di ortodossia musicale, soprattutto da quella jazzistica. Nel loro secondo disco, Erosion (il primo, Bruch, è del 2008), il quartetto instaura un regime sonoro ampiamente elettronico, che prevede comunque la presenza di suoni acustici di tromba e batteria, della vocalità rapper (Black Cracker, Sky189 e Claire Hugueni) e dei timbri elettrici di tastiere varie, chitarre e basso. Il disco è un'opera reticolare, in cui ...

But most of those sideman sessions were just as significant, since Henderson was a powerful ingredient on anyone's recording date. For example, he is a dominant soloist on Kenny Dorham's Una Mas, Lee Morgan's The Sidewinder, Horace Silver's Song for My Father, Herbie Hancock's The Prisoner and others. What made Henderson special was his dry tone and ...
